Sweet potatoes had been on my mind and I had wanted to work them into my holiday dinner. I thought that a sweet potato soup to start the dinner off would be a good idea. I quickly came across this recipe for a
creamy sweet potato soup
on
Simply Recipes
that caught my attention. I liked that the recipe had some spices that might be found in a sweet potato dessert and the maple syrup which might be found in mashed sweet potatoes. In the end I decided that I already had too much planned to have the soup with dinner so I just had it for the lunch before instead. I kept pretty much to the recipe though I wanted my soup to be thicker so instead of using the four cups of stock I used just enough to cover all of the potatoes. The soup turned out wonderful and before I realized it I had already finished off two bowls. It was nice and creamy and there was a nice blend of slightly sweet along with the savoury. The cinnamon and nutmeg gave it that aroma of apple, pumpkin or sweet potato pie.

Oh, yum, yum, yum! I'm a soup girl all the way! This sounds really good. I've not pared sweet potatoes with other aromatic veggies before, and I'm really intrigued by this recipe. You've sparked my interest in maple syrup, too, in your recent postings. This will be great in the coming cold weather weeks!

it's finally getting cool enough here for soup. This one is going on my must try list. It's almost time for sweet potatoes here. Luckily I have a connection with a farmer who always gives me a lot of sweet potatoes.
